Hi
I've just inherited an S6 and would like to buy a flip case that turns the screen on /off.
Can anyone recommend one, ideally from ebay or Amazon UK
Thanks
Samsung smart cover, youre in the uk?

Thanks for the advise, I've bought a Samsung case and whilst it's nice, it doesn't protect the top, bottom or sides.
Anyone know of a case that does that and auto wake ?
Thanks

It was $59.99 They weren't going to sell them til tomorrow launch but I argued because the website said they were in stock today at my local sore. Which is why I drive out there.
Could you tell me, that the back cover of s-view is the same as the normal S4 back cover ? Or It's thicker ?
There is another thread open that shows the two back covers. The s-view cover is a hair thicker.

The S-View Cover Linked in the OP is not the Samsung S-View Cover. I believe all conversation about buying one from best buy and such is about the Official S-View Cover. Just a heads up for anyone who didn't click the link.
YAH the reason i bought the one from amazon is because it comes with a kickstand.

I received my tridea s view case from Amazon, and it fits the phone perfectly. However, I'm not thrilled with the case. Here's my take:
The good: the s view feature works great, better than anticipated, and the case does a nice job of standing the phone up horizontally. The case is thin, and doesn't add much bulk at all. I like the color (I got the blue case).
The bad: the case feels cheap, almost like cardboard. I suppose this might be partly to make it thin, but I don't like the feel of it. Also, there is no protection whatsoever for the corners of the phone. I had hoped that the part that holds the phone in would come around the corners, but it doesn't. What is a case for, other than to protect the phone from drops and scratches? This case provides poor protection. Also, the cover doesn't stay closed, it just flaps around.
I'll keep using this case until someone comes up with a better s view option. I'm sure there will be more knock-offs as time goes on.

I just received my tridea s view case from Amazon today and yah the only flaw in my opinion is the corners, i like i just thought it would have more protection for corners but its fits nicely and the black looks nice. Plus i love the kickstand thats a major plus for me.

You can get it for $40 on Amazon now.
Would you recommend this case? I like it from the pictures but is it really low quality? How about plastic cover? Is it soft plastic or could damage metal sides? Thanks...
So browsing around Amazon for controllers and found this guy, I guess they're not a huge hit.
Samsung Galaxy S4 S-View Flip Cover Folio Case
Looks like Black or White is available, I use the Trident Aegis but I just ordered a black one of this just to give a try.
Just wanting to let everyone know.
Thanks!
definitely a counterfeit...
I didn't think they could pull that off thru Amazon, I just purchased will let you know if I get it and if I do what it's like.
Otherwise I'm protected.
Yeah, I saw this on Amazon yesterday and was peeved because I ponied up the 60 bucks for this case at the Verizon store when I got my S4 this past weekend,
And that's still too much for those goofy cases!
I bought one and its a counterfiet its even says galaxy IV on the front instead of galaxy S4

I disagree with your opinion that the case is "goofy".. The genuine S-View cover is very nice. Adds no bulk to the phone yet protects the most vulnerable part of the phone....the screen. It can be used with the OEM Universal Multimedia dock, eliminates the lock screen and gives you the option to answer calls, etc., without having to open the cover. The more I use it, the more I like it. Got the real thing by making sure Amazon, LLC was the seller and paid about $30 with free shipping. Well worth it IMHO.

I think if it says "S IV" instead of "S 4" on the bottom of the cover or has "Samsung" at the top, its counterfeit. Someone posted a YouTube video either here or on Android Forums which showed one with a magnet so strong, it would put the phone into S-Mode when the cover was turned back on itself. Since yours did not have a magnet at all, it looks like there is more than one counterfeit model out there.

Guyz I have just ordered this case from ebay for my galaxy s4. Seeing the number of pieces sold I thought it might be good for the price.
Here is the link: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/S-View-Magnetic-Wake-Sleep-Flip-Leather-Case-Cover-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-i9500-/400547199429?var=670124839299#1
I just wanted to know has anyone else ordered it or using it. Does the magnetic lock interfere with the phone functionality in any way?
Hello everyone.
I'm desperately looking for a bumper case for my i9500
since I've got my device, which is 2 month for now, I'm traveling around with no case at all, because nothing fits to its thick wireless charging cover.
If anyone here can give us links to buy any bumper that's fits well,
I would be very greatful.
The Samsung bumper protect case? Seen them at best buy.
can you paste here a link for product ?
I haven't found anything
I think the bumper (as in no back, just a rim around the phone) is for the active.
The case could be the samsung protective cover+...but it has a back, so you cant use wireless charging as you need to keep the back exposed.

Not really, the magnetic field passes through most covers. As long as they aren't too thick or made of metal you shouldn't have a problem.

I just got a rooCase bumper, it fits good with my Samsung wireless charging back,the only drawback is the bumper doesn't stick out very far in back, the gap between the case & the table is pretty small. I'm worried it might make contact/scratch over time. I'm going to put a skin on the back, even if it's just extra wide clear tape.

I have the back protector film so I have no problem.
Can you please share a link to this bumper on ebay or Amazon?

But I currently use the super quality back protector that I got with my spigen glas.tr
it's really awesome.
I don't know where to find top quality back films like this one on ebay or Amazon.
Enjoy.

Hey guys,
I'm grabbing a gold S6 Edge+ from the Samsung Store here in Romania. They offer as courtesy a 100$ voucher for any new S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge+ that you buy. The voucher can be used to buy Samsung's official accesories for the phone. I read and seen a whole lot of complaints regarding screen scratching with the regular S6 Edge clear view cover, so I am definitely staying away from that one. I will be grabbing instead a fast wireless charger and an S-View Cover. I know I may sound paranoid lol, but is the same story going to repeat with the regular S-View cover? Is anyone aware or experienced scratches on the screen with this case? The last thing that anyone would want is a brand new scratched screen for a phone that costs a leg (935 USD here, unlocked version, gold variant, 32 GB). Thanks in advance guys!

Personally I'd grab a tempered glass screen protector well worth the money

It does! So a screen protector is a must.

I have been using the S-View cover for a few months now, no scratches visible. I never use a screen protector either. I do take good care of my phones though.

Using Samsung official S-View for a few months and everything is fine. No scratches on the screen and good protection overall.
I hesitated when I bought it because it's the first time I choose a flip case but I'm finally very happy. I think we don't need a screen protector with this case.
